CIVILIZATION MET
BY FIRMER
WANTS NO “DEADHEADS” ON
LIST OF EMPLOYES.
A CALL UPON THE LAW MAKERS
TO PREVENT USELESS TAX
UPON AGRICULTURE.
By Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers’ Union
The farmer Is the paymaster of
Industry and as such he must meet
the nation's payroll. When Industry
pays its bill it must make a sight
draft upon agriculture for the amounL
which the farmer is compelled to
honor without protest This check
drawn upon agriculture may travel to
and fro over the highways of com-
merce; may build cities; girdle the
globe with bands of steel; may search
hidden treasures -in the earth or
traverse the skies, but in the end it
will rest upon the soil. No dqllar
will remain suspended in midair; it is
is certain to seek the earth's surface
as an apple that falls from a tree.
When a farmer buys a plow he pays
the man who mined the metal, the
woodman who felled the tree, the
manufacturer who assembled the raw
material aud shaped it into an ar-
ticle of usefulness, the railroad that
transported it and the dealer who
<old him the goods. He pays the
wages of labor and capital employed
In the transaction as well as pays
for the tools, machinery, buildings,
stc., used Iq the construction of the
commodity and the same applies to
til articles of use and diet of him-
(elf and those engaged in the sub-
lidiary lines of industry.
There is no payroll In civilization
that does not rest upon the back
Df the farmer. He must pay the bills
—all of them.
The total value of the nation’s
annual agricultural products is around
112,000,000,000, and it is safe to esti-
mate that 95 cents on every dollar
£oes to meeting the expenses of sub-
sidiary industries. The farmer does
not work more than thirty minutes
per day‘for himself; the remaining
thirteen hours of the day's toil he
devotes to meeting the payroll of the
hired hands of agriculture, such as
the manufacturer, railroad, commer-
cial and other servants.

CkBRiberUtn’s lament
This preparation is intended especially
for rheumatism, lame bnek, sprains and
like ailments It is a favorite with people
who are well acquainted with its splen-
did qualities. Mrs. Charles Tanner, Wa-
bash, End., says of it. *'I have found
Chamberlain's Liniment the best thing
for lame back and sprains I have ever
used. It works like a charm and relieves
pain and soreness. It has been used by
Others of my family as well us myself for
npwarri* of twenty years.” 26 and 50
cent bottles. For sale by all dealers.
The annual payroll of agriculture
approximates $12,000,000,000. A por-
tion of the amount is shifted to for-
eign countries in exports, but the
total payroll of Industries working for
the farmer divides substantially as
follows: Railroads, $1,252,000,000;
manufacturers. $4,365,000,000; (pining,
$G55,000,000; banks, $200,000,000;
mercantile $3,500,000,000, and a heavy
miscellaneous payroll constitutes the
remainder.
It takes the corn crop, the most
valuable in agriculture, which sold
last year for $1,692,000,000, to pay off
the employes of the railroads; the
money derived from our annua, sales
of livestock of approximately $2,000,-
000,000, the yearly cotton crop, valued
at $920,000,000; the wheat crop,
which is worth $610,000,000, and the
oat crop, that is worth $440,000,000.
are required to meet the annual pay-
roll of the manufacturers. The
money derived from the remaining
staple crops is used in meeting the
payroll of the bankers, merchants,
etc. After these obligations are paid,
the farmer has only a few bunches of
vegetables, some fruit and poultry
which he can sell and call the pro-
ceeds his own.
When the farmer pays off his help
he has very little left and to meet
theso tremendous payrolls he has
been forced to mortgage homes, work
women In the field and increase the
hours of his labor. We are. there-
fore, compelled to call upon all in-
dustries dependent upon the farmers
for subsistence to retrench in their
expenditures and to cut off all un-
necessary expenses. This course is
absolutely necessary in order to avoid
a reduction in wages, and we want,
if possible, to retain the present wage
scale paid railroad and all other in-
dustrial employes
We will devote this article to a
discussion of unnecessary expenses
and whether required by law or per-
mitted by the managements of the
concerns. Is wholly Immaterial. We
want all waste labor and extrava-
gance. of whatever character, cut out.
We will mention the full crew bill as
Illustrating the character of unneces-
sary expenses to which we refer.
Union Oppoees "Pull Crew" Bill.
The Texas Farmers’ Union regis-
tered Us opposition to this character
of legislation at tha last annual meet-
ing held In Fort Worth, Tex., August
4, 1914, by resolution, which we quote,
as follows:
' “The matter of prime importance
to the farmers of this state la an adff
quote anu efficient marketing system;
and we recognise that such a system
is Impossible without adequate rail-
road facilities, embracing the greatest
amount of service at the least pos-
sible cost We further recognize that
the farmers and producers In the end
pay approximately 95 per ceut of the
expenses of operating the railroadB,
and It is therefore to the interest of
the producers that the expenses of
the common carriers be bb small as
Is possible, consistent with good ser-
vice and safety. We, therefore, call
upon our lawmakers, courts and
Juries to bear the foregoing facts in
mind when dealing with the common
carriers of this state, and we do espe-
cially reaffirm the declarations of
the last annual convention of our
State Union, opposing the passage of
the so-called ‘full-crew’ bill before
the thirty-third legislature of Texas."
The farmers of Missouri in the last
election, by an overwhelming ma-
jority, swept this law off the statute
book of that state, and it should
come off of all sfhTute books where
it appears and no legislature of this
nation should pass such a law or
similar legislation which requires un-
necessary expenditures.
The same rule applies to all regu-
latory measures which increase the
expenses of Industry without giving
corresponding benefits to the public.
There is ofttimes a body of men as-
sembled at legislatures—and they
have a right to be there—who, in
their zeal for rendering their fellow-
associates a service, sometimes favor
an increase In the expenses of in-
dustry without due regard for the men
who bow their backs to the summer’s
sun to meet the payroll, but tfiese
committees, while making a record
for themselves, wib the skin off the
shoulders of thh farmer by urging the
legislature to Iffy anothey burden
upon his heavy load and under the
lash of “be It enacted" goad him on
to pull and surge at the traces of civil-
ization, no matter how he may sweat,
foam and gall at the task. When
legislatures "“cut a melon" for labor
they hand the farmer a lemon.
The farmers of the United States
are not financially able to carry "dead
heads" on their payrolls. Our own
hired hands are not paid unless we
have something for them to do and
we are not willing to carry the hired
beip of dependent industries unless
there is work for them. We must
therefore insist upon the most rigid
economy.
Legislative House-Cleaning Needed.
While the war is on and there is a
lull in business, we want all legisla-
tive bodies to take an inventory of
the statute books and wipe off all
extravagant and useless laws. A good
house-cleaning is needed and econo-
mies can be instituted here and there
that will patch the clothes of indigent
children, rest tired mothers and lift
mortgages from despondent homes.
Unnecessary workmen taken off and
useless expenses chopped down all
along the line will add to the pros-
perity of the farmer and encourage
him in his mighty effort to feed and
clothe the world. ^
If any of these industries have sur-
plus employes we can use them on
the farm. We have no regular
schedule, of wages, but we pay fgiod
farm hands on an average of $1.50
per day of thirteen hours when they
board themselves; work usually runs
about nine months of the year and the
three months dead time, they can do
the chores for their board. it they
prefer to farm on their own account,
there are more than 14,000,000,000
acres of idle land on the earth’s sur-
face awaiting the magic touch of the
plow. The compensation is easily ob-
tainable from Federal Agricultural
Department statistics. Tho total

average annual sales of a farm in
the continental United States amounts
to $516.00; the cost of operation Is
$340.00; leaving the farmer $176 per
annum to live on and educate his
family.
There Is no occasion for the legis-
latures making a position for surplus
employes of industry. Let them come
“back to the soil” and share with us
the prosperity of the farm.

policy It is a poor virtue.

Mr. Fanner and Live Stock Grower, the
Lubbock $udan Grass $eed Association
Is calling t® you to quit buying feed and buy $udan
Grass *eed. The Lubbock $udan Grass #eed Association
was organized last year and is composed of Lubbock coun-
ty farmers who are producers of pure Sudan Grass $eed.
Every crop handled by this association was inspected in
the field before the crops were harvested by a committee
of five men. Mr. V. L. Cory, superintendent of Lubbock
sub station No. 8, a state experiment station, is chairman
of said committee. All crops found to be poisoned by ob-
noxious pests and weeds were condemned and not handled
by tlie association. Mr. Farmer, dft not be misled by the
“inspection certificate.” You have no way in the world
to connect the seed with the certificate ottered. *udan
grass is a big hay producer as a follow crop after harvest-
ing the wheat and oats. It can be planted, with good re-
sults, up to July first. Pure, recleaned, well matured,
officially inspected $udan Grass #eed, forty cents per pound
delivered. Sped that will please you and produce satisfac-
tory results. Free booklet on request—“The Story of
